Rima Sultana Rimu
Rima Sultana Rimu, one of the two Bangladeshi women named in the list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2020 revealed by the BBC, is a local role model.
Daughter of a farmer from Razarkul union in Ramu upazila, Rimu overcame all the odds to complete her education. Now, being an active member of 'Young Women Leaders for Peace' in Cox's Bazar that works for the empowerment of young women from conflict zones, she is making contributions to society.
In fact, for the past three years, she has been playing a key role in providing education to women and children at Rohingya camps, who are deprived of formal studies. Rimu has also been raising awareness among the Rohingyas on various issues, including child marriage, dowry and domestic violence.
